Requirements for your drive show only back compatibility with USB2. I am afraid, your drive would not work with USB 1.1. If you have the drive and the computer already, the only way to make sure is to try. I do not think anything bad would come out of it. For more info on USB3, visit the following link:

If it is a desktop, your best solution would be to install a USB3 card. If it is a laptop, you could add USB3 ports through a Expresscard-to-USB 3.0 adapter.

USB 3.0 is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0 ports, on USB 1.1 perhaps you can have some problems?
